Explanatory Note

This Current Report on Form 8-K/A (this “Amendment”) amends the Current Report on Form 8-K of Deciphera Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (the “Company”) filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on June 25, 2021 (the “Original Form 8-K”). The Original Form 8-K reported the final voting results of the Company’s 2021 Annual Meeting of Stockholders held on June 23, 2021 (the “2021 Annual Meeting”). The sole purpose of this Amendment is to disclose the Company’s decision regarding how frequently it will conduct future stockholder non-binding advisory votes on the compensation of the Company’s named executive officers (“Say-on-Pay Votes”). No other changes have been made to the Original Form 8-K.

 

Item 5.07

Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders.

As previously reported in the Original Form 8-K, in a non-binding advisory vote held at the 2021 Annual Meeting on the frequency of future Say-on-Pay Votes, the Company’s stockholders expressed their preference for a Say-on-Pay Vote to be conducted every one year. On September 29, 2021, the Company’s board of directors considered the outcome of this non-binding advisory vote and determined that future Say-on-Pay Votes will be conducted every one year. The Company’s board of directors will re-evaluate this determination after the next stockholder advisory vote on the frequency of Say-on-Pay Votes (which will be at the 2027 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, unless presented earlier).
